Free speech isn't always pleasant

It's ironic - the Arab world continues to violently protest an obscure clip on YouTube which mocks the Muslim religion. This has resulted, so far, in the death of the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and many others throughout the world.

A few days after the ambassador's death, your Sunday funnies included a Doonesbury cartoon mocking the Jewish and Christian faiths. This was read by probably millions, including children and impressionable youths. It was protected by the First Amendment.

It clearly points out the differences between the Muslim world and the Western world. How grateful I am that we live in a society where we can ignore such insults without resorting to violence.
